Steve communicated clearly items that needed work and seemed to have very good knowledge of the 2005 vehicle I brought in for repairs. Work was completed timely and thoroughly. I highly recommend Ulmer’s in Mt. Washington

Had gone to 3 different shops, one being the dealership and was told I needed a new transmission. Decided to take it to one more place and Ulmer’s immediately found it was an electrical wiring problem that was causing the issues. None of the other shops even thought to check. If I hadn’t taken it to Ulmers I was looking at $5k to replace something that was not the problem. This is the only place I will take my car to and plus the staff is top notch. Cars runs great couldn’t be happier. A true auto mechanic shop.

They are always so accommodating and informative. Also, I was out of windshield washer fluid and they refilled it! I’m not sure if that’s a typical part of an oil change or not. Either way, I was super thankful!

Best service EVER! I have been coming to Ulmer’s for almost 10 years for maintenance and repairs on my BMWs. I am always impressed by the level of service and care. Prices are very good. I have never felt like they were pushing extra services on me. I trust them completely and will never take my car anywhere else. If you’re searching for a new mechanic, you just found the best.

These guys are FANTASTIC. As a 25yo woman it was such a difficult task to find a mechanic who didn’t treat me like I didn’t know anything. Ulmers was recommended by a friend and I am so happy I looked into them. They’ve worked on all of my cars, numerous times and I have never once had an issue. I had a Kia that had problem after problem and these guys were there to help even fixing mistakes from another mechanics bad work. They broke everything down into simple language and kept it transparent. They do quality work for a really, really reasonable cost. Some people say they’re pricey - which doesn’t make sense because these guys aren’t cutting corners and in this industry you pay for quality! I know when I get my work done and my car back that I don’t have to be worried, and everything will be fixed and running great. I have had everything from my cooling system to transmission system, spark plugs, etc worked on replaced by them. Every piece of work that they have done, it’s lasted without issues! They are so accommodating and respectful, even letting me swing by on occasion to check any concerns I had like weird smells or sounds that could be coming from my car. It was very reassuring and put me at ease when I’d roll up and they’d pop out to the parking lot and check everything out. I’d say it was the equivalent to your dad walking out to the driveway and popping the hood making sure you’re good to go. These guys will do everything in their power to make sure you’re safe to drive, and if you aren’t they have loaners cars. (A+++)Brandon and Steve have been excellent with customer service as far as getting me scheduled, following up and answering any and all questions I have. From day one they’ve always treated meLike we’ve known each other for years and are old friends. I was so surprised and comforted to go in and them ask about things happening in my life that I told them months before. Sad to see Wesley moved locations, he was great to talk to as well! I would recommend this place to anyone, especially young women who don’t know who and who not to trust in this industry. It will be very, very sad the day my wife and I move out of Cincy and have to find a new mechanic.

A little disappointed, we had to return our vehicle for further problems. It is so inconvenient when one car is down and we have 3 drivers. However, the problem was resolved and we were appreciative for the way they took ownership and fixed the problem. We all have tight schedules these days, we value quality control and it is very important to us. Thanks for taking care of us.

Ulmers is simply the best! Customer service is their middle name. One visit the air conditioner needed replacement. They checked with Land Rover and it was under warranty. Things that have broken over the years, they always find a solution to whatever is wrong. They Stand behind their service. LOVE these guys. Simply the best.

I got the bumper-to-bumper service and am so thankful for the way they handle everything! A clean, comfortable, and safe shuttle is just the tip of the iceberg. They keep you updated on everything and send pictures of things so you can see how it’s going. They are transparent and very honest about what repairs and services they do or do not recommend. I don’t know much about auto maintenance and easily trust Ulmers to keep my car running well and not swindling me in the process! They make it so easy!

They do a good job repairing my old POS car. I am always happy to have work done. They are honest and have told me when things don’t need to be done. For example, my brakes seem fine, but I’ve never replaced them. So I said I think I should get new brakes. They checked and said I shouldn’t. When they say something needs to be done, I trust them and do it. For as much as I want a new car, I appreciate that they keep my hunk of junk safe for the road. Because I really would rather not spend my money on a car I hardly drive. If you can trust a mechanic with a real POS car, you can trust them with a good car.

I have been going to Ulmers since I moved to Cincinnati in 2001 and have not found better or more qualified service anywhere. The people at Ulmers are always friendly and stand ready to meet any of my needs. They are prompt when servicing my vehicle and do not leave you standing around waiting forever. As aside I own a Corvette and Ulmers is the place I have it serviced due to my confidence in their ability to see that all things are taken care of properly on it.

This is by far the best Auto Care shop in town. The guys are fast, thorough, and friendly. I stopped in today on my way home from work just to ask a question about my tire pressure being a tad low. The parking lot was packed and waiting room full-the employees were running in and out helping people. I asked my question and they offered to put air in my tires right there on the spot. Amazing service. Would give 10 stars if I could. My parents and siblings have also brought their vehicles here for service for several years now and between the six of us we have never had a bad experience. Ever. I trust them to tell it to me straight and get all jobs done quickly for a super fair price. Keep it up Ulmers!

We had our 1999 Dodge Ram towed to Ulmers because the brake pedal was going to the floor. We also had them look at the engine, and four wheel drive transfer case. They were very detailed and took many pictures of the things that needed repaired. In the end they were able to fix everything for a reasonable amount of money and they stand behind the work they do with a 4 year 50,000 mile warranty. This is the second vehicle we have had them service and will be returning for years to come.
